SPACES FOR

Solitude Spaces that filter between the world and self Addressing the search for solitude in today’s frenetic society, the desire to escape, and find time for solitude.

A focus on the experience of an individual’s journey of internal speculation and search for their self in nature. Experience returns an individual back to reality with a more heightened understanding of self.

EARTH Descending down spiraling stairs, a dimly lit, long, and narrow tunnel guides procession to a room underground. Inside, a small opening directs the view up, as one suddenly becomes aware of the surroundings. One can’t help but notice varying quality and intensity of light changing throughout the day. Where am I?

THE

Event SPACE A memorable event spce on the lake. Jump in.

The Panther Hollow Lake event space is an abstraction of water as a single white plane and spaces as glass volumes. A constant transition from land and water, inside to outside, the event space is a playful experience. Just like the rhythm of the water.
